When Jeyne Westerling died in a pool of blood and screams, delivering yet another twisted monstrosity, the dark veil over the Red Keep finally tore open. Tyanna of Pentos—the spider who had stalked the halls as Mistress of Whisperers—confessed under torture that her dark alchemy had poisoned the wombs of Maegor's queens. Maegor cut her heart out with Blackfyre himself, leaving her corpse to rot in the courtyard. Of his six wives, only two remained alive in the dark fortress: Rhaena, who stared at him with venomous hatred, and Elinor Costayne, broken by grief. They were ghosts walking the halls, leaving Maegor utterly alone, exhausted by bloodletting, and surrounded only by men who sweated through their doublets whenever he turned his gaze upon them.
